„Linkin Park have released Papercuts (Singles Collection 2000-2023), the first greatest hits album featuring songs from their entire career“explains the press release.
While this – in addition to the fundamental astonishment as to whether such compilations are still needed in the streaming age – raises specific questions – for example because it implies that the band released their “entire“ career behind him, potentially on a “first“Such a compilation could actually be followed by more… especially since the second year in the title only means the publication date and not the creation date of the number used – it is clearly clear in view of the 67 minutes or 20 songs that have been added up Papercuts did not do its basic job particularly satisfactorily.
Why? Because the compilation as a singles collection is not even remotely complete, many releases (such as Not Alone, From the Inside or The Catalyst… to name just a few) and not only Final Masquerade but even anything The Hunting Party-Leaves out material, including unconditional hits like Shadow of the Day forgets. Pretty absurd.
If Greatest HitsOn the other hand, relay companies would have songs like, measured in terms of commercial success Heavy should not be missing – what Papercuts All in all, it just seems damn inconsistent. (And we’re not even talking about the subjective shortcomings of song selection, because it’s a personal best of the Linkin Park-History would have turned out completely differently – Papercuts However, it would be unfair to make accusations on this front.)
The Radio AirPlay smashers nevertheless line up in a flow that pleasantly ignores the chronological release, but is also a bit uneven in practice and reminds us that the band is apart of the two best albums Hybrid Theory and Minutes to Midnight had some strong songs to offer – the classics like One Step Closer, In The End or What I‘ve Done Of course, the solidly selected numbers from weaker studio albums still dominate in this regard.
The representatives chosen in a more unconventional manner and who were only somewhat comprehensible Papercuts then also indicate space to discover: New Divide also stays away from the Transformers-Kosmos a relatively unspectacular blockbuster autopilot that plays it safe; the one built on electronic beats and knitted predictably Lost is better than a lot of things Meteor and in this respect promotes the Anniversary Edition of the record; QWERTY (from the sessions to Minutes To Midnightso far officially only on the 2006 fan club album LP Underground 6.0 appeared) then it seems as if Rubin’s band was in the Metallica-Shoes have been put in before the hard step on the accelerator pedal makes you feel like it; the previously unreleased and recently released as a single Friendly Fire white, on the other hand, as a decelerated electropop indulgence from the One More Lightphase with a pleasant verse and a boring stadium chorus that can’t generate any energy, not really convincing. This means that these rudimentary exclusivities only apply to a limited extent when it comes to making your own Linkin Park-To put together a preview.
